libgimp(ui), iibintl and (l)gpl problems

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



At the moment, libgimp&gimpui.so are not linked against libintl, which
means they break on machines without gettext & friends in the libc.

However, if we solve this problem by *linking* libintl against libgimpui
we get another problem: linking against libintl automatically puts
libgimpui under the GPL.

I think the situation of "--with-included-gettext changes the license of
libgimp to GPL" is not really acceptable. How are we supposed to solve
this? Or should we just document this fact?
